We can’t really hire a new coach until we have a new AD and Prez in place first off. Secondly I’m seeing this as an extension that kicks the can down the road until the new hires are in place. They're paying him so little in the grand scheme of things that IMHO he can still be on a short leash and could be be reassigned at any time down the road. Giving him a single one year extension wouldn’t help recruiting, so this way he can show recruits and their families a 3 year commitment from the university and still gives us an out. I’d bet a shiny new dime there’s a performance clause.
